Fruiting
Fruit development follows flowering, with fruits ripening in late summer to early autumn.
Harvest
Fruits are typically harvested in September or October when fully ripe.
Senescence
Leaf senescence and autumn coloration begin with the first autumn frosts and shortening day lengths.

The tree enters dormancy after leaf fall, triggered by the first autumn frosts.
